  • Profile: The story of Marvin Park, Zidane's remedy

Zidane sewed Madrid to save him from his absences, but Madrid knew how to unstitch in time to win, thanks, in large part, to the hopeful game of

Marcelo

, a guy who, if he is well, there is no line to hold him.

Enough not to suffer, which is already a lot in these times, and not lose more steps in the League, five points behind Atlético, with two games less the rojiblancos, in a game postponed and poisoned from the first day.

Getafe, this time, had neither the hemlock nor the expected sandpaper (2-0).

The three centrals are a circumstantial solution for Madrid, but the circumstances today go beyond a few days.

The absence of

Sergio Ramos is

not corrected only with a token.

In the area, one nail does not take out another nail.

The system must also be changed.

This is what Zidane did in a line where there are heavy casualties, such as

Carvajal

, and worrying doubts, those of

Militao

.

The formula has its good and bad points.

The first are stability, in addition to providing one more piece for the transition of the ball that seeks to avoid high pressure from the rival.

It also allows to free the sides, converted into lanes.

This benefits Marcelo very specifically, back to the starting position with a very good tone.

It was not only due to the tactical disposition, but also to his better form, finer than months ago.

The Brazilian needs the repris in his starts.

He had it.

A pity that he had to retire, touched, which allowed the debut of the youth squad Chust.

On the opposite side, ZZ opted for another,

Marvin

, who already gave minutes in Huesca.

Son of a Nigerian father and a South Korean mother, the player complied without further ado, because almost everything that was productive offensively in Madrid happened on the opposite side.

He endured, yes, in front of Cucurella, hyperactive, a kind of Tasmanian devil on the grass.

The counterparts of the system, on the other hand, have to do with the clarity in the exit of the ball, by having one less midfielder, in this case

Kroos

, sanctioned, and with the depth on the bands, less than when the winger and the winger they create options of two against one.

Madrid, asymmetrical, was able to do it on the left, where the greatest danger and the second goal came.

On the right, Marvin was more aware of precautions.

It has a body to run.

It will.

Yesterday, he also retired prematurely due to some inconvenience.

Another squad player, Arribas, entered and

Vinicius

went to the right wing, as a side, from where he gave the pass that opened the way to victory.

Providence was with Madrid.

The claws of Mendy and Benzema

The game started according to Zidane's first intention, which was to give Madrid stability, without any fright in the entire first half, with control of the game but fewer chances than intended, it is true.

From set pieces, Benzema crashed the ball into the wood and

Casemiro

shot high.

On the move, Marcelo connected with

Modric

on the half moon and the Croatian caused the first intervention from

Soria

.

As soon as the second half started, he took out another hand with a cross shot from Benzema.

The goalkeeper was returning to the Getafe goal, although it was not the only change for

Bordalás

, who was punished in the Valdebebas box for his heat with Lopetegui, in Seville.

Mata, Kubo or Aleñà stayed on the bench to admit Cucho and Ángel.

This was not the only reason for the null offensive activity of his team during the first half, but the tactical dominance of Madrid.

It was necessary for Getafe to change men, but also attitude and ambition.

As soon as he returned to the pitch, Ángel tried a Chilean, the first thing Getafe did against Courtois.

Immediately, the changes of his three absent musketeers arrived.

Another game began, more dangerous for Madrid, but also better to offer them opportunities.

Cucurella was undecided in an arrival in which he had position for the shot and, on the other hand,

Benzema

did not do it

when the Getafe defense conceded the death meters.

First to Vinicius, in the band, who threw a soft center.

Despite this, the poor reaction of the centrals left Benzema to finish off the network with little opposition.

Those two actions tipped the shock inexorably.

If before it was Vinicius, then it would be Marcelo, deep, who reached the bottom in combination with

Mendy

, straight to the net.

Unstitching a few minutes was enough.

At least in this fight.
